I must be a *bleeping* newb cuz Im following the tutorial on this site and I dont think i even have the right programs! Alls i got is borland 5.5 i just wanna make a simple program right now like in the tutorial:
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"Potatos will rule the world YOU CANT ECSCAPE!" ;
return 0 ;
}
So ANY help would be greatly appreciated!
Oh and you SHOULD help because if you do then you'll feel all big and bad cuz you helped a newb and you will rule so just help.
O and if borlands all I need, how do i work the mesS? I cant figure it out. I made a notpad file with this:
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"YES, POTATOS WILL STILL DESTROY YOU WITH THEIR SUPER ELECTRIC GRILLMONSTER!" ;
return 0 ;
}
and saved it as hello.rc. but i dont now how to make it run like an actual program!:confused:
O yeah, do you guys recommend any specific compilers that are better than this borland mess? (if its not any good that is)
you should have saved it as a .cpp file not a .rc (.rc is a resource file).
it should compile fine.
I prefer MS Visual C++.. but it doesn't really matter.. whatever you are used to is fine.
U.
ok thanks a lot
check out dev c++, its free and has a GUI (graphical user interface)
its at www.bloodshed.net
Wow, thanks a lot. DEV is MUCH easier to use than Borland.
Ya I know, I had Borland too and it was a big pain in the u know what.
If you get into any assembler in Dev-C++ you will have problems. Also, some interupts won't work. I would suggest DJGPP, but it is just like Borland's IDE, unless you find a better one then RHIDE or Emacs.
That stinks. Why do all the good compilers have to cost big $$. :mad:
They don't, man... use gcc in Linux! It kicks a$$ :D
Whatever man, alls I know is I don't have ANY money to go buying compilers all over the place:( .
I wish I could get Visual C++ for cheap, but just for the learning edition it costs $100.
why don't we just send it to you?
I got VC++ standard edition for 80$
i got Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise for free :))
Most good books on C++ have a learning edition of VC attached.
Look for a good book ( not exactly cheap however ) and you get two for the price of one.
howdy,
you sound like a prime canidate for linux - the OS is free the compiler is free the documentation is free. check it out. im using gcc to learn C++ and the Emacs editor both work just fine and are very simple to use.

i have Mandrake linux :)
If you're using linux, try pico for an editor. Easier to use than either emacs or vi. You could also check out www.editpadclassic.com for a free editor with some nice features.
Naw i have Windows 98 and Linux, i use Windows 98 when im programmin :)
>>I got VC++ standard edition for 80$
I did, too :) I think CompUSA had a day where they decided to take leave of their senses. Well, it was either 80 or around 60. I can't quite remember. It was a while ago.
Download a free version of Linux and get gcc/g++ for free.
howdy salvelinus,
i found emacs to be pretty easy to use, it has highlighting and compile/linking right from the editor.
i have seen quit a bit of talk about pico but have not been able to find it in my installation of RH.
is it an add on, if so can i get an RPM for pico?
thanks
M.R.
